Ellen Calmas Named 2015 Outstanding Woman in Family Business Award Recipient
Newton, MA (PRWEB) May 28, 2015 -- Ellen Calmas, co-founder and executive vice president of Neighborhood Pay Services, the creators of the NPS Rent Assurance® Rent From Payroll® platform, has been named a 2015 Outstanding Woman of Family Business by The Warren Group editorial board. The Outstanding Women Award is an annual award that honors the achievements, commitment and dedication of female family business professionals who demonstrate outstanding leadership and commitment both within their businesses and in the communities they serve.
Calmas is credited with helping to create a new vertical category in financial services for the rental housing industry that combines improved access to professionally managed rental housing with on-time rent delivery from 30 percent of today’s resident population with less than perfect credit. She actively supports numerous health, civic and arts organizations throughout the Boston area and currently holds board positions for Silent Spring Institute, and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where she serves on the Foundation Board, and as a Vice Chair for the Trustee Advisory Board, and has chaired the Women’s Cancer Advisory Committee. She was appointed in 2006 to the Massachusetts Commission on the State of Women, where she served for two years.
“I am grateful to be recognized for our company’s accomplishments in eliminating friction around timely rent delivery for millions of renters across the country,” Calmas said. “We take great pride in our work with many of the country’s top property companies to enable their customers - individuals and families living paycheck-to-paycheck - to better manage major financial obligations starting with rent.”
